Red paperback travel guide with dog-eared pages
Description
I was reading it yesterday around 3pm near the Logan Public Library on Main Street when I must have left it somewhere nearby. It's a red, softcover Lonely Planet Pocket Iceland guide, about 4 by 6 inches, with a creased spine and the page edges tinted yellow from years of use. Inside, there's a blue ink doodle on the inside cover and a bright orange bookmark ribbon threaded through page 62, with a tiny whale charm dangling from it. It really means a lot to me—it's been a gift from my grandmother, and I was planning to lend it to a friend but now it's vanished. If found, dropping it at the Logan Public Library front desk or emailing me at [email protected] would mean the world.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
